00:00I'm proud of you, son.
00:01These are decisions that you made to serve yourself!
00:04You are a nasty piece of work, Lady Emma.
00:07I'm proud of where I came from.
00:08I want to be good enough for you, Salof.
00:10Pairing on three.
00:11Hey!
00:20We mustn't be doing it right.
00:23I followed the instructions to the letter.
00:26Now, it must be something.
00:28No, it's not catchy.
00:34No, it's not catchy.
00:35Here, let me try.
00:41I'll get this one on.
00:42You go and check the wires again.
00:43Yeah.
00:45And, Joe, make sure everybody's ready.
00:47All right, I'll see you next time.
00:49Yep.
00:50It'll work.
00:52Come on.
00:56I'm sorry, man.
00:57I'm sorry, man.
00:58I'm sorry, man.
01:00I'm sorry.
01:01I'm not going along now.
01:02Can you get off me?
01:03I don't know.
01:03It's two separate ones.
01:06Ask me that one.
01:08Do you see it?
01:09Yes, please.
01:10Oh, nice one, love.
01:11You have not gone down this.
01:12My boy.
01:12You still aren't.
01:13Right in the eye, Mrs. Dryden.
01:15I know.
01:16Dinner should have been served ten minutes ago.
01:18What do you think I'm supposed to do?
01:19There's no lights.
01:20They also serve on their stand and wait.
01:26There you are.
01:27Come on.
01:28Is it on?
01:28Don't be ridiculous.
01:31This has got disaster written all over it.
01:34I think it's exciting.
01:36It'll mean more work for you, not less.
01:39Mark my words.
01:40Joe.
01:42Joe.
01:43That's it.
01:43One and out.
01:44But keep track and make sure.
01:45I told you.
01:46I told you.
01:47I told you.
02:11Betsy, come on.
02:12Just leave them with these, Mike.
02:14Stop worrying then.
02:15Mine's not working.
02:16Yes, ma'am.
02:17Come on, Mom.
02:18Quick.
02:19So, is it going to work?
02:21We're about to find out.
02:23I'm excited.
02:26Hurry up.
02:28Me and Harry are starving here.
02:30We have been waiting long enough.
02:34Right.
02:35Is every woman ready?
02:37Yes.
02:38Three, two, one.
02:44That's amazing.
03:18I mean, it really is something, isn't it?
03:22Very modern.
03:23At least you can see all the redecorating you've been doing now.
03:25Oh, well, what else are we supposed to do for summer?
03:27Oh, I firmly burnt my bridges with the ladies' circle.
03:29Oh, you're better off.
03:31I don't miss them, but I miss doing something.
03:34Hey, we're looking to the future.
03:36Yeah, put that away, Liza, will you?
03:37Oh, Gladwell.
03:39Another unsuitable march, is it?
03:40I don't know what's worse, when they write or when they visit.
03:43You can't all be bad, Liza.
03:45You'll meet the right one.
03:46Well, I thought our Mary would, too.
03:49I wish Adela weren't in London.
03:51I need a friend to talk to, not you lot.
03:53Hey, there's a room full of experience here.
03:56You should count yourself lucky.
03:57Oh, some experience, ma.
03:58You scared your own suitor into quitting.
04:00You want now?
04:01Well, she's not wrong.
04:03I mean, the grounds haven't been the same since Victor left.
04:05Well, they look better without him moping about.
04:07Oh, you've a cold out, Mother.
04:09Some of us still like fresh air and hard work.
04:11Don't we, Joe?
04:12No, aye.
04:13Taking shop orders, recording the halls,
04:16organising the transport.
04:18It's good, reliable work.
04:22Anyway, this, um...
04:23Joe, this was a brilliant idea.
04:27It was all, Dad.
04:28Hey, that's not true.
04:29Well, you know what they say.
04:31If you want something done, ask a busy man.
04:33No, I'm not that busy.
04:36I'm not.
04:37I'm just overseeing the shops.
04:38And the docks.
04:39And the stocks.
04:40And the finances.
04:41And the property investments.
04:42Here, look.
04:43The world is moving fast.
04:44Can you imagine what it's going to be like
04:46for little Samuel over there
04:47whenever he runs Hardacre and Son?
04:49Aye.
04:49Pigs might fly when you give up the reins.
04:51Anyway, enough work talk.
04:53Harry is heading off next week.
04:55He should be toasting to his last year in school.
04:57Next stop, Oxford.
04:59No, that's a dead boring toast.
05:02How about a toast to change?
05:06Not a toast to progress.
05:08I think a toast to us.
05:09Aye.
05:10To the bloody hard acres.
05:11Here, here.
05:12Cheers.
05:13Cheers.
05:14Cheers.
05:29Welcome home, darling.
05:31Hello, Papa.
05:34Now, Ebba.
05:36Season was cut short.
05:38Let's have lunch,
05:39and then you can tell me all about London.
05:42Abysmal.
05:42The people, the weather, the prospects.
05:45All anyone spoke of was recession.
05:49I must have something to eat,
05:50and then I'm going to see Liza.
05:51No, you are not.
05:53I am.
05:56Do you see what I've been dealing with all summer?
05:59Emma.
05:59No.
05:59Oh, she's been wretched,
06:01and I know exactly where she's learned it from.
06:11Woo!
06:12Go on, Callum.
06:13Go on, lad.
06:17Look at him.
06:18You're already improving, Lord.
06:20Oh, oh.
06:22My dismounts are a working progress.
06:24Aye, so when am I in a row, then?
06:27Uh, tomorrow.
06:28But, Mrs. Hodica, I must warn you,
06:30I've read there could be health implications.
06:35Oh.
06:36What I mean is the shape of the seat isn't...
06:41there's concerns that for women...
06:44Why, what's wrong with the shape of the seat, Callum?
06:48For women.
06:51I have business I must discuss with Mr. Hodica.
06:53Yeah, he's in the study.
06:54Right, I'll take this one on the back for you.
07:10There's only so much I can do.
07:12I'll be eating this for weeks.
07:14The order book was crystal clear.
07:17Nowhere did it say 30 hams.
07:20We did need 30 rashes for breakfast, but we've got none.
07:23Frankly, I'm at a loss for words.
07:25What on earth were you thinking?
07:27It was your responsibility.
07:29You changed everything round.
07:31Yes.
07:31That's what happens with orders.
07:33They change depending on the requirements of the household.
07:37What's going on?
07:37Now, my apologies, Mrs. Hodica.
07:41There has been an error in our kitchen order.
07:45I was just explaining to Maggie
07:47that this kind of carelessness is not acceptable.
07:50I see.
07:50I have the matter in hand.
07:52Well, I'll have a private word with Maggie.
07:54All the same.
07:56This way.
08:03Finally.
08:04A bit of discipline.
08:08Please don't let me go.
08:10I'm letting you go, Maggie.
08:11I'm giving you a break from that dressing down.
08:13But I do want to know what happened.
08:16Mrs. Dryden needed someone to help with kitchen orders.
08:19But we'd only been confined and all, so I said I'd do it.
08:23It's an extra shilling a week.
08:25Right.
08:26And somehow we've ended up with enough boiled antivirus and all army.
08:30Was the order book not clear?
08:33I don't know, ma'am.
08:37Here.
08:38Give a look.
08:41Does that look clear to you?
08:43Yes, Mrs. Hardacre.
08:48Oh, Maggie.
08:54I can't read.
08:55Yeah, well, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
08:58And it helped me memorise the orders.
09:02But then the price has changed.
09:04And Mrs. Henderson wanted different weights.
09:06And I messed it all up.
09:08I'll tell Mrs. Dryden I can't do the new job.
09:10No, you won't.
09:11We'll just have to figure it out, won't we?
09:13Hmm?
09:14I'll help you.
09:16I promise.
09:18Come on.
09:21The median number is about 10 to 15 percent.
09:24And that's a trend we're seeing across all shops currently.
09:30So we're in trouble?
09:31Considering the entire country is suffering a severe recession,
09:34I think we should be pleased.
09:36But profits are reduced?
09:38Hopefully temporarily.
09:40And the family investment?
09:41Also slightly reduced.
09:47These are down by half.
09:48Some more.
09:49It looks bad on paper, I agree.
09:51But these are still viable assets.
09:53What can we sell them?
09:55Panicking now is the worst thing we could do.
09:58So we ride out the storm?
10:00Exactly.
10:01The steadfast prevail.
10:03But it's a troubling time.
10:05I can explain all this to Mrs. Hardacre too.
10:08No.
10:08No, I'll do that.
10:11She should hear it from me.
10:14It's payday tomorrow.
10:15I'll bring the wages down to the docks myself.
10:17It's really no trouble.
10:19If the recession's hit us this hard, can you imagine what it's like for the workers?
10:22I need to see the mood.
10:25He's finally down.
10:28How's work?
10:30Great.
10:31Everything's still on schedule.
10:33Considering we lost two men.
10:35They quit?
10:36No.
10:37They left for America.
10:39That's it.
10:39Don't start this again.
10:42It'd be an adventure.
10:43Our lives are here.
10:45In Yorkshire.
10:46Our lives can be whatever we want.
10:50Do you feel stuck?
10:52No.
10:53No, Betsy.
10:54No.
10:55Not here with you and Samuel.
10:58You two mean everything to me.
11:00You know that?
11:02It's just work.
11:03Look, your dad's kept you in that job long enough.
11:08Show him you're ready to take on more responsibility.
11:13You are ready, Jo.
11:17You're right.
11:20Yeah, you're right.
11:22Right, better get back.
11:26Thanks, love.
11:29You must tell me everything.
11:31Was there a queue of men, really?
11:34Oh, no, but at one point, there was a new suture here every day of the week.
11:37It's exhausting.
11:38Who were your callers?
11:39The Honourable Clarence Taylor.
11:41Oh, I don't know what's honourable about him.
11:43All he wanted to know is how much my dowry is.
11:45Is he still painfully dull?
11:47He spent 40 bloody minutes talking about pigeons.
11:50Then, Sir Thomas Burroughs, you should have seen his ear hair.
11:58And what about one day?
12:02The parties were boring, but I made the most of it.
12:04And did you meet anyone you liked?
12:06No.
12:07Nobody worth meeting.
12:09Mama was more unbearable than usual.
12:12Oh, that sounds bloody awful.
12:13She was upset, because I have no prospects left.
12:17Oh, don't be so daft, Adela.
12:18I must accept it.
12:21And I'm happy, really.
12:22Hey, I'll cheer you on as you find your husband instead.
12:29You've no idea, George.
12:30Come now, Emma, surely it can't have been that bad.
12:33It was absolute agony.
12:35She complained non-stop.
12:37She kept giving people her opinion, as if anyone cares about that.
12:40The level of patience I had to master, George, it would test a saint.
12:44But we're not bringing her to another season.
12:46I can't go through that humiliation again.
12:50We'll figure something out.
12:51Without a dowry, no.
12:53And we'll take her with this disposition.
12:55Look, Emma, I've been focusing on our property since you've been away.
13:00And I think we should...
13:00Oh, please don't add insult to injury with that worthless land.
13:03We're ruined.
13:07Dear God.
13:09What's happened?
13:11Well, has Chris been all right?
13:13My mother.
13:14Oh, Emma, I'm so sorry.
13:16No, she's not dead.
13:18Worse.
13:19She's clearly heard something and...
13:21She's coming here.
13:24Yeah.
13:50All right.
13:50All right.
13:55How are you, Jack?
13:56Ah, well...
13:57A new baby just arrived.
13:59Congratulations.
14:00Sleepless night.
14:01Aye.
14:01Yeah, I feel those.
14:03I'm being honest with you, Simon.
14:05I've got four mouths to feed now.
14:07The price is going up every week.
14:09I'll not be raising the price of her.
14:11It's a shame we can't live on fish alone.
14:13But maybe you can talk to the bakers or the milkmen.
14:16You know, I heard more and more people are trying their luck in America.
14:20And if this recession keeps up, well, we might have to go on.
14:30John.
14:33Josephine, get the white face.
14:35White.
14:37Adela, put something proper on.
14:40Grandma won't mind what I wear.
14:41Last time she saw you, you were a child.
14:43You're a grown woman now, in theory at least.
14:46The house feels brighter already.
14:48Oh, this is splendid.
14:49I look forward to Imelda's stories.
14:51She tells stories so that you'll share your own.
14:54Do not fall for it.
14:55Must have been so dramatic.
14:56She's really not that bad.
14:58My mama looked for any reason to say a medal.
15:00We cannot give her one.
15:02We're not to speak of Adela's failed season or our desperate finances.
15:05And under absolutely no circumstances is anyone to mention a heartache.
15:13White face.
15:14Yes.
15:14White.
15:23Oh, my God, Liza, listen to this.
15:25Oh, stop it, Ma.
15:26He sliced her from her throat all the way down to her...
15:29Right, I've got something to show you both.
15:31Spring-eel Jack, this is unbelievable.
15:33The most terrifying thing about it is that it's all true.
15:36Give over.
15:36Oh, aye.
15:37Spawn of the devil himself.
15:39Right, are you coming or not?
15:41We just got comfortable, Mum.
15:42You should try it sometime.
15:44Oh.
15:45It's just I'd got you both a surprise, but if you just want to sit around...
15:48Hang on, hang on.
15:49What surprise?
15:50Can we see it, Mum, please?
15:52Hmm.
15:53But you'd better get changed first.
15:55Ma, will you put your hat on?
15:57Stop putting it on.
15:57It's bad enough wearing these.
16:01Ladies, welcome to the future.
16:05Oh, come on.
16:13How easy is it, Cam?
16:15Child's play.
16:17Just fix your gaze on the road ahead, and whatever you do, don't stop pedalling.
16:22I'll be right behind you.
16:25Okay, that's it.
16:26Down on the left, and that will do it.
16:28That's it.
16:31You can use the handlebars to touch.
16:34Yes, Mrs. Hardacre.
16:35Woo!
16:36He's going to kill us, Al.
16:40Yes, Mrs. Hardacre.
16:42What are you waiting for?
16:43Okay.
16:44Your turn, next.
16:47No!
16:50You can use the handlebars.
16:52Come on, come on.
17:30Two days, and she's gone.
17:41Hello. How nice of you both to greet me.
17:45What a lovely welcome.
17:48I hope you haven't gone to too much trouble.
17:51Mama, my dear.
17:55Emelda, how are you?
17:57George.
17:58I trust the journey from Bath wasn't too taxing.
18:01Not at all.
18:03Okay.
18:05I forgot how marvellous this countryside is.
18:13But not as marvellous as this young lady.
18:18Grandma, look at you, sweetheart.
18:21Just as angelic as the day you were born.
18:25Ah, I bought gifts.
18:29I'm not sure how fitting they are.
18:32Oh, I love them.
18:34I'll wear them tonight.
18:36You shouldn't have brought gifts, Mama.
18:39Well, I just wanted to show my appreciation.
18:43Yeah, I think what Emma is trying to say is that having you here is gift enough.
18:48Exactly.
18:49I've arranged lunch for us.
18:51Yeah, if you don't mind.
18:52I'd like to stretch my legs and have a breath of fresh air after that long journey.
18:56Of course.
18:57So, you must show me the gardens, Adela.
19:00Oh, we have so much to catch up on.
19:19Yeah.
19:21It's Auntie Liza.
19:22Your favourite.
19:24Come to see us.
19:27Right.
19:28It's time for a nap.
19:29No.
19:34I thought you'd be at Malham now, Adela's back.
19:37Telling her about all your new prospects.
19:41Everything all right?
19:43Of course.
19:44Why wouldn't it be?
19:46Jo's working hard.
19:47Samuel's happy.
19:49Great.
19:50Yeah, that's great.
19:57How was your friend?
20:00Before I was a wife or a mum, you know.
20:03What are you on about?
20:03I've been here and you've been so busy enjoying all that attention.
20:08Oh, hang on.
20:09Oh, hang on.
20:10Those toughs barely know my name.
20:12All they care about is the hard acre bank accounts.
20:15I thought you enjoyed it.
20:17I thought you enjoyed it.
20:18Betsy, there's no romantic about being interviewed to be a wife.
20:22Anyway, I thought you enjoyed all this.
20:24Oh, I do.
20:25Well, it's hard.
20:27Mum's away, mind and gran.
20:28I never get back to the village.
20:31Oh, Betsy.
20:33I miss seeing everyone.
20:36Well, I'd like to visit more often, but the travel is a big undertaking.
20:41We can visit you.
20:42I have offered, but never since the suit.
20:45And Emma stopped writing once the engagement was called off.
20:50Then there were rumours about London.
20:52I'm sure it was just idle gossip, but I had to come to see for myself.
21:02Well, I wasn't the perfect lady.
21:06But I'm not getting married, so attending the season's a waste of time.
21:09Oh, you have the Hanson fire in you.
21:15Darling, all that matters is your happiness.
21:21But what is it that you want?
21:27I've never been in love.
21:31So you do want marriage, as long as there is love.
21:37That's a ridiculous notion.
21:39I have no dowry, and men only liked me when I said nothing at all.
21:44But Mrs. Hardacre told me that I'm worth...
21:47Well, I'm worth more than that.
21:50Hardacre?
21:51Who are the Hardacres?
21:52Tell me everything.
21:56Well, there's my best friend, Liza Hardacre.
22:00Hmm.
22:01And her mom won't even let me up.
22:05Never mind.
22:06No, no, she did mention something about...
22:11What was it again?
22:15Well, there was a bit of a falling out, you see.
22:19Between my mom and Mrs. Hardacre.
22:28Harry, love, can I ask you something?
22:31Yes.
22:32Now, I told Maggie I'd help her with the reading.
22:35Right.
22:36Is there somewhere she can learn?
22:37No idea.
22:41Right.
22:41Come on.
22:43What's going on?
22:44You've not been yourself for weeks.
22:46You've stopped reading.
22:46I mean, I chopped it up to nerves about your exams, but...
22:48I'm not going back to Barlow's.
22:52Harry.
22:54Harry, where's this come from, love?
22:57Has something happened?
22:58I just don't want to go back.
23:00And that's it.
23:02Well, what about Oxford?
23:03Hmm?
23:04That's your dream, love.
23:06I don't care about Oxford anymore.
23:10Just leave it, Mom.
23:18I tried everything with Harry.
23:19He refuses to go back.
23:21He will.
23:23I'm not going to force him.
23:25You're worrying.
23:27I want to do what's best for our children.
23:28We are.
23:30Anyway, we have bigger problems.
23:34What?
23:36Bigger than our family?
23:40You should have seen the men today.
23:42Their spirit's gone.
23:44Well, isn't there something we can do?
23:46The price of food's going up.
23:48They're struggling to get by.
23:50Right, so we just up the wages then?
23:53Calum says we're in no position to do that.
23:55Is he concerned about our finances?
23:59No, no, no.
24:02There's nothing like that.
24:05I just need to find a solution, that's all.
24:10I just don't know what.
24:27I had your maid light the candle
24:29so I could attend to my correspondence.
24:34This check that you get to George,
24:37we cannot accept it.
24:41You cannot have people talking.
24:43Whatever Dad told you,
24:45we don't require your intervention.
24:47You are hiding away.
24:49I've travelled all this way
24:51and you haven't even arranged a luncheon for me.
24:56Something is wrong.
24:58I thought you'd be too tired.
25:00There's nothing the matter.
25:01Peter, are you sure?
25:06Yes.
25:08I'm not sure I feel right
25:10leaving you in this state.
25:16How about we host afternoon tea?
25:21The orangery would be perfect.
25:24Wonderful.
25:25A farewell party for you.
25:28I will start the invitation straight away.
25:31We'll invite all the neighbours.
25:33Of course.
25:35I'll invite the Hardacre's.
25:38The Hardacre's?
25:39Yes.
25:40Adela tells me that her friend,
25:42Liza Hardacre, lives next door.
25:44She's quite the influence.
25:46I should like to meet them.
25:51Is there a problem?
25:54Of course not.
25:55A lovely family.
25:57Good.
26:09A lovely.
26:10This is Hardacre.
26:12Oh.
26:16That's the Hanschen seal.
26:18Who?
26:19Lady Emma's family.
26:20The Danish royalty.
26:23Lady Imelda Hansen
26:25cordially invites you
26:26and your family
26:27for afternoon tea
26:28in Malham Manor.
26:33I'll stick to me, Anne, thanks.
26:35Let me see.
26:35Fine.
26:39Who says here
26:40all the neighbours are invited?
26:41Right, and you think
26:42all those neighbours
26:43insulted Lady Emma, dear?
26:44Well, maybe not to her face.
26:47Adela is my friend, though, Mum.
26:48It'd be rude not to go.
26:50Oh, come on.
26:51Aren't you just a little bit curious
26:52to meet the woman
26:53who spawned Lady Emma?
26:55She probably breathes fire.
26:57On both ends.
26:58She might do a heck of a party.
26:59Hang on.
26:59Why are you so keen to go?
27:02Because I know you miss
27:02all that fancy stuff.
27:04Socialising and all.
27:05And we have every right
27:07to be there.
27:08Mum, I never get to go
27:10to Adela's house.
27:11Might be good for everyone.
27:19Fine.
27:20But if that Lady Emma
27:21so much as looks at me funny,
27:23I'm going to put her back
27:23in her place.
27:29You know why I always
27:30love your bike, love?
27:31Oh, I know.
27:32Oh, Mum.
27:32I've got the latest order
27:34for you.
27:34I thought you'd help me
27:35memorise them like Annie did.
27:36Maggie, that's not how
27:38you learn to read, love.
27:41It's all them different shops
27:43and weights and prices.
27:45I get mixed up.
27:46Something from the butchers,
27:48then the bakers.
27:49You know, if I bought
27:50everything from the same place,
27:51it would be so much easier.
27:54Everything in the same place.
27:56That could be it.
27:58Meet me in the shop.
27:59Uh, Sam.
28:00Thank you, mate.
28:01Sam, wait.
28:05Ah!
28:06You've come on a good day.
28:08My rhubarb is thriving.
28:09My rhubarb, you mean?
28:11Remember who gave you
28:12them crowns?
28:13So, this Lady Imelda Hansen.
28:16Ah.
28:17You've received
28:17the invitation, then?
28:18Hmm.
28:19If this is another one
28:20of Emma's attempts
28:21to put our Mary down,
28:22I swear.
28:23I assure you it's not.
28:24Imelda is keen to meet
28:25Adela's friends.
28:26Well, our friends, too.
28:29Well, and Emma's happy
28:29with that.
28:31Emma wants her mother
28:32to be happy.
28:33Maybe Imelda could teach
28:34Mary a thing or two.
28:42What's this about?
28:44No clue.
28:45Dad?
28:49Good people are struggling
28:50to make ends meet.
28:52They don't want charity.
28:53God knows I understand that,
28:54but they do need help.
28:55And the way we do that is?
28:58Offer more than just fish.
29:00What?
29:00We turn our hard acre shops
29:02into general stores.
29:03That means tea, bread, eggs,
29:05you name it, under one roof.
29:07I can't make the bakers
29:08and butchers change their prices.
29:11Unless we buy in bulk
29:13and we pass those savings
29:14on to our customers.
29:15Give them real value,
29:17not charity.
29:18Expanding during a national recession
29:19could be risky.
29:20You said it yourself.
29:22People who hold their nerve
29:23get the rewards.
29:24Okay, so you're suggesting
29:26a trial period.
29:27Convert one shop,
29:27see how it fares,
29:28then expand.
29:29No, we have to buy in bulk
29:29to get the value that we need.
29:31One shop is not enough.
29:33We have to be bold.
29:34Hmm.
29:35Well, we took a chance
29:36before and it paid off.
29:36We could do it again.
29:37Yes, for an expansion
29:38on that scale,
29:39you'd be willing to run it.
29:40It's not wrong, Sam,
29:41when you stretch thin
29:42as it is, love.
29:43Dad, I know the logistics
29:44inside and out.
29:45The orders, the shipments,
29:47the schedules.
29:47I've been doing this
29:48for 18 months.
29:49I can do it.
29:50I know, Sam.
29:51Well, but Dad,
29:51you need to trust me.
29:53How am I supposed
29:53to take over if you don't?
29:57You're right.
29:59It's yours.
30:00Right.
30:02I can get on
30:03some new suppliers today.
30:05I can get new stock.
30:06Carpitas come in,
30:07new shelves.
30:08That's if you agree.
30:09What are you asking him for?
30:10He just told you
30:11where the boss live.
30:13Come on.
30:14Leave him do it.
30:33There you are.
30:36I've got something
30:36fun for us to do today.
30:40Where?
30:42We're going to
30:43Mallon Manor
30:43for afternoon tea.
30:45Liza, that's your idea
30:46of fun.
30:47We can make it fun,
30:49now Betsy.
30:49Please.
30:50Come on,
30:51let's get dressed up
30:52and have a laugh.
30:54Me and you.
30:55What about Samuel?
30:57Oh, don't worry.
30:58I felt the perfect nanny.
31:00I won't be long.
31:01I promise.
31:03And if you need me to come back,
31:04there'll be no problems here, dear.
31:07Enjoy yourself.
31:09Ah, Maggie.
31:11I am going to find someone
31:12to give you lessons
31:13in the evening.
31:14Reading, writing
31:15and numeracy.
31:16And there's going to be
31:17no more issues
31:18with the order books.
31:18With respect,
31:20Mrs Hardacre,
31:21don't you think
31:22this innovation
31:23might distract her
31:25from her duties?
31:26No.
31:27I think it will help her
31:28work to the best
31:29of her ability.
31:32Can Henry come to, ma'am?
31:34The footman?
31:35Hmm.
31:36Or the merrier.
31:37In fact,
31:38spread the word.
31:40Our doors are open.
31:41Oh, hark it was,
31:42all polished up
31:43from Alan Manor.
31:44We are going to be
31:45on our best behaviour.
31:47Aren't we, Mary?
31:48Tend if I care
31:49what the pit servants think.
31:51Bloody ourselves.
31:54They'll give over.
31:56Come on, ma.
31:57Get in.
31:59Mind your dress.
32:00Mind your dress.
32:04Let's go.
32:11Let's go.
32:52Mama,
32:54this is Mr. and Mrs. Sam
32:55and Mary Hardacre.
32:59And this is my mother,
33:01Lady Melder Hanson.
33:03The Hardacres
33:04are titans of industry.
33:05They made a fortune
33:06in fisheries.
33:07Do you own a port,
33:10Mr Hardacre?
33:11Herring shops.
33:11Yeah, we started out
33:12as goodies.
33:13But they have a huge
33:14portfolio.
33:15Properties, investments,
33:17international ventures.
33:18From the ground up.
33:21Very impressive, indeed.
33:23And this is...
33:25Call me ma.
33:26And, um,
33:28this is our eldest, Joe,
33:29his wife, Betsy,
33:31our youngest, Harry,
33:31and our daughter, Liza.
33:33Liza's been such a good friend
33:35to Adela.
33:35And Harry's studying at Barlow's,
33:38Georgia's alma mater.
33:39Yes.
33:40Actually, I've quit school.
33:43If you'd like to help yourself
33:44to refreshments inside.
33:48Have you been on the champagne already?
33:50What are they?
34:20All right. It's a bit stuffy here, isn't it?
34:23Thought it'd be a lot.
34:24I heard someone say they're going to read poetry.
34:27Why don't we go down to the village?
34:29No one knows we're gone.
34:31Right, let's go then. All of us.
34:33Come on, Adela.
34:34We can't. It's Grandmama's last day.
34:36Well, then, you cover for us.
34:38If anyone asks, we're powdering our nose.
34:41The worst.
34:50As a patron of thespians, I thought today a delightful excuse
34:57to invite one of Bath's renowned readers, Donald Willis.
35:04Enjoy!
35:08Tomorrow.
35:10And tomorrow.
35:12Oh, God.
35:13And tomorrow creeps in this petty place from day to day
35:19to the last syllable of recorded time.
35:22This is our punishment for turning up.
35:23All our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
35:32I'll only have one drink.
35:34I'll be back in an hour.
35:36I heard that reader say he's got players to last the whole night.
35:47Two glasses of ale, please, Tom.
35:50Come in right up.
35:54There you are.
36:00It's good to be back.
36:03The seeds of Banquo, kings, rather than so.
36:07Come, fate, into the list and champion me to the utterance.
36:14And now for a short break.
36:16Oh, thank God for that.
36:18I feel like a virtual thousand years.
36:19I need a break.
36:21I need to top up.
36:22I need something stronger.
36:26Well, we're going to need it.
36:29We have to sit through another hour of him.
36:31You know, I had the butler choose the readings.
36:36Obviously a bad mistake.
36:40Well, you know what they say.
36:43If you want something doing right, do it yourself.
36:45Oh, indeed.
36:47You know, I had terrible trouble convincing Emma to throw this party at all.
36:52Well, I had terrible trouble convincing Mary to come.
36:56Well, you're almost welcome.
36:59You know, I would have put money on Lady Anne slinging mud the minute we walked through the door.
37:04You like a little wager, do you?
37:08Only when I'm playing cards.
37:14All right.
37:15Come on.
37:17All right.
37:21Excuse me.
37:22There's no rush.
37:24Why don't you stay for a while?
37:27Thank you, sir.
37:29But I'm afraid I must decline.
37:32It's all good for us now.
37:34Why is the heartache?
37:35Now?
37:36Don't even come into it.
37:38How about you go for the likes of you and our gutting fish?
37:41Move.
37:41We just want to go home.
37:43Please.
37:44The lady told you to stand aside.
37:46If I were in your shoes, I'd do as I was told.
37:49This isn't your business.
37:50Correct.
37:52But I could choose to make it my business.
37:56Or alternatively.
37:58You could leave these two ladies alone.
38:01And then I leave you alone.
38:07There's a good chap.
38:09Excellent choice.
38:15I'll let you know I could knock out a drunken idiot like Joshua Calder with a single punch.
38:22Is that so?
38:24Then have at it.
38:25My money's on the lady.
38:27Right, let's go.
38:35She ordered 30 of them.
38:36I said we'll be eating ham till Christmas.
38:38Bite your tongue now.
38:39It's not Maggie's fault she never learned to read.
38:42So that is why you're setting up the little school.
38:45I just believe that education should be for everyone.
38:48And you're putting our charitable efforts to shame.
38:52Ah, Emma.
38:54You should hear this.
38:56Oh, I'd love to, Mother.
38:57But the reader is about to do the closing verse.
38:59So I think we should all make our way back over.
39:04Yes.
39:05Mary.
39:06Emma.
39:09I know there's been some tension between you both.
39:15But, Emma, wasn't there something you wanted to say to Mrs. Harvick?
39:21An apology.
39:22No, there's really no need.
39:23No, I believe there is.
39:26Emma.
39:31I'm sorry, Mary.
39:33The past.
39:36Misunderstandings.
39:39Thank you, Lady Emma.
39:41Well, with the girls.
39:43Being such fast friends.
39:46I think you too should be as well.
39:53Away.
39:54And mock the time with fairest show.
39:57False face must hide.
39:58What the false heart doth know.
40:02Such a delightful afternoon.
40:04Thank you for joining us.
40:05Thank you, Lady Imelda.
40:07Thank you, Lady Emma.
40:09It's been a lovely afternoon.
40:11Until the next time.
40:13Yes.
40:15Right.
40:16Come on, let's go on.
40:18That wasn't so bad.
40:19I wouldn't say it, Lady Imelda or Lady Emma, only do I.
40:34Splendid afternoon.
40:35Thank you for suggesting it.
40:37And for restoring our friendship with the Hard Acres.
40:40Now, your carriage for tomorrow.
40:43I'm staying.
40:45Mama.
40:46You should have told me about these Hard Acres.
40:50You should have told me about these Hard Acres.
40:51Sticking their grubby fingers in our businesses, our schools, our marriage prospects.
40:58It's abhorrent.
40:59Don't you think?
41:01I know that.
41:02But you've done nothing to deter it.
41:05I had her ousted from the ladies' circle.
41:08They had no problem arriving back here, bold as brass.
41:15You've always been weak, Emma, and I am left to clean up your mess.
41:23Yes, I can manage this myself.
41:26And Ella has been totally taken in by them.
41:31And I am not leaving until everything has been reverted to the natural order.
41:38Now, how do you propose to do that?
41:39I want to make an example of them.
41:43A warning to anybody who thinks that they can buy glass.
41:48It's impossible.
41:49They don't care what people think.
41:51Well, it's not.
